Michael Jackson
Immensely successful performer, especially in the 1980's - originally with Jackson
5 and later The
Jacksons. But for his disco hits, listen to his Quincy
Jones produced album "Off the wall" - a 30 million seller. The
classic disco songs are, of course, "Don't stop till you get enough",
"Off the wall" and "Burn this disco out". Guitars on this
album are by The
Brothers Johnson, some songs are written by Rod Temperton of British disco
band Heatwave.
Pre-"Off the wall" Michael appeared in the film The Wiz with Diana
Ross, and there were two 12" disco singles from this album.
